[Verse 1]
Wanda had a baby in 1951
The father was a stranger and a stranger was the son
Call that child James Lewis, call these rooms a home
Changin' all them diapers, polish all that chrome
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me

[Verse 2]
All around the schoolyard, playin' all the games
Runnin', laughin' back and forth, the kid with two first names
A stranger in the closet, lock the diary
The past is runnin' faster, singin' harmony
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me

[Verse 3]
"God bless this kitchen," said the knick-knack shelf
Well, dinner's almost ready, go and wash yourself
Jimmy's growin' up now and Wanda's growin' old
The days are growin' shorter, the nights arе long and cold
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me

[Verse 4]
Snеakin' in the closet and through the diary
Now don't you know all he saw was all there was to see
The whole town saw Jimmy on the six o'clock news
His brains were on the sidewalk, blood was on his shoes
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me
[Outro]
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me
